Outline of “Recommendations for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures Using Ferronickel Slag Aggregate” and “Recommendations for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures Using Copper Slag Fine Aggregate” of Japan Society of Civil Engineers

Abstract

In April 2016, JIS A 5011-2 “Slag Aggregate for Concrete－Part 2 : Ferronickel Slag Aggregate” and JIS A 5011-3 “Slag Aggregate for Concrete－Part 3 : Copper Slag aggregate” were revised. These revisions introduce pro visions concerning the environmental safety quality of slag aggregate, and establish a new standard for ferronickel slag coarse aggregate. This paper gives an outline of the “Recommendations for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures Using Ferronickel Slag Aggregate” and “Recommendations for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures Using Copper Slag Fine Aggregate” of the Japan Society of Civil Engineers, which have been revised in response to these JIS revisions, and further made to incorporate the latest research findings.
